How can I configure fail2ban to always allow attempts from the local/NAT ips (ie 192.168.1.*). I have tried putting the following entry into /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf:

[DEFAULT]

# "ignoreip" can be an IP address, a CIDR mask or a DNS host
ignoreip = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.*
bantime  = 600
maxretry = 3

but upon restart I had the following warning in my /var/log/fail2ban.log

WARNING Unable to find a corresponding IP address for 192.168.1.*

What's the correct configuration for what I'm trying to do?

Please note that I still wish local host (127.0.0.1) to be exempted as well.

Ubuntu 9.04

Shouldn't you add 192.168.1.0/24 instead of 192.168.1.* ?
